Achieving De-urbanization by Hybrid Space Architecture is not just a machine that represents efficiency, it should contain something more than it appears to be, something that goes beyond its basic functions. Today’s buildings are supposed to be multivocal and ambiguous enough to respond to their surrounding context. The rapid urbanization in China enhances people’s lives in some aspects and brings a greater efficiency to the society, but it also destroys the natural ecosystem and previous city structure. The construction of many so calls “functionalism” buildings in the city results in societal isolation and creates boundaries between among groups of people, which significantly reduces the diversity of urban spaces.

Consequently, how to design hybrid space that could reverse the urbanization trend to some extent became my greatest interest during five years of study in the university.
